-- ROBLOX iOS and Android Suggestions! --
-- "Metal" (IOS ONLY) -- So I was thinking about ROBLOX for iOS. For the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+, they now have the A8 processor. Normally people just shrug this off and be like "okie", but the thing is, now instead of OpenGL or whatever they used for iOS 7, iOS 8 now has "Metal". This means that iOS 8 can directly get power from the A8 processor without OpenGL slowing everything down, meaning that games could run a lot smoother.
So my suggestion is that they add iOS 8 Metal support, so that iOS users can get a better experience. Metal would mean: - Better graphics - Faster loading - Shader support
This means Dynamic Ligthing and Lighting Ambience could become much more smooth for Roblox iOS, as well as have more sophisticated games be able to be run, for example After The Flash: Rain. Metal support with the new engine you guys made would mean an extremely smooth experience for all iOS users.
TL;DR: Add metal support. (Better Graphics, Faster, Ambience&Lighting is faster)
-- Dialog -- For iOS and Android users alike, one of the main complaints has been that you can't converse with NPCs. On some games this is vital, such as Bawxing; It is a relatively minor thing to add but it shouldn't take too long, so it'd be a good step forward for iOS.
TL;DR: Add dialog for iOS.
-- GUI Formatting -- Another thing about iOS is the people without 6+ or have 4 and 4s is that they don't have much screen space. For iOS, the screen is cluttered with chatting, horribly formatted control buttons, and so on. The base GUI needs to be reformatted for iOS, and the User GUIs also need better formatting; A lot of the base GUIs mess with User GUIs, and the Base GUIs also cover themselves up; For example, I turn on the Dpad controls. The hot bar for my inventory covers it up, so I can't move backwards.
TL;DR: Fix Base GUI and User GUI formatting to be more user-friendly.
-- Personal Server Access -- More annoying stuff. For iOS and Android, you can't get on personal servers. With this addition, however, you'd also need to fix the User GUI formatting as mentioned, to fix the stamper tools to be more user-friendly.
TL;DR: Add Personal Server support.
-- Following Players -- Yet ANOTHER annoying thing. Half of the time you can't find games that your friends are on or aren't on the front page, so you have to scroll page after page trying to find it. This would also be more relevant with my next point after this one. I'd recommend you add a "Follow Player" button, as well as following for Personal Servers. (See above)
TL;DR: Allow following players.
-- Chatting & Parties -- We need chatting and parties. Whilst you'd expect that if the games are so high-detailed you can't play them on iOS so they'd at least make it so you can do more social aspects, you can't. For the app, we need chatting and parties. Having a separate window for this wouldn't bother me, as the screen will get cluttered if you have it at the bottom or something.
TL;DR: Add chatting and Parties.

You say iOS and Android suggestions, but all of these are just for iOS.

No support Because a "A8" chip doesn't mean it's better And it's unfair for iPad Mini 1g/iPod Touch 5 to not get support Because the A5 chip has 1GB(same ram as in the A6 processor) because the A5 is "dual-core" It don't really matter to iPhone 5/5c/5s since they have the same ram but different. |

@Yo This isn't about being "Unfair", it's about adding something that wouldn't even matter to you. And for the older versions, better use of OpenGL could be implemented, I guess. |

| Some one said that the a5 has 1gb of ram, which is a total lie. Looked at my iPod 5, and there was half a gig. On the other hand, how Is this unfair? The old devices are terrible anyway. I'm sitting pretty with my a7 and m7. |
